any idea how much an Autograph Book is onsite? My DD is trying to work out how much pocket money she will need to take! :A

Merci.

we were there last week and managed to get a lovely autograph book for each of my children.
they were on a promotion 5 euros instead of 10 so £4.17.
really lovely book with a place for the autograph and a plastic sleeve to put there photo in so whenever they were getting an autograph i took a photo of them with the character.
we brought ours from a shop in mainstreet called storyteller or something but saw them in most of the shops we went in.

We are going in December, so I guess they might not stay on offer for that long!

We are only going for 2 nights - first timers - and really want everything to go well to get in as much as possible. Should I be booking certain restaurants? We are staying in the Disneyland Hotel, so does that mean we automatically get a character breakfast? I am so confused / excited! We don't know anyone who has been to ask questions, hence all my confusion!

im sure the characters join you in the disneyland hotel for breakfast so no need to book one.
we booked for our meal at cafe mickey in the morning and just got the last slot when we left there was a really long que to get in same when we went to planet hollywood so if i was you i would decide where you want to eat and book when you get there.
you will have a fab time whatever as its such a magical place so try not to worry about anything.
have you been on this website www.dlp.info/Guide/index.htm i found it really helpfull.

Hi peeps, had a read of some of the pages on here and used the search feature but not had much luck

I am a first timer in the early stages of planning a 2 - 3 day break at EuroDisney :j:j, and hoping to save some money by booking early and making some better [wise] choices. Hope you guys can help!

Here are my requirements:
Looking to go between Nov 1 and New Year.
I prefer to go by Eurostar from KX London
Friday through to Monday [can be flexible]
2 Adults, 1 Room @ one of the recommended places [ie The New Yorker, Cheyenne, The Explorers, Santa Fe etc]
and 2 days at the Theme park.

I am happy to arrange my break around the cheaper dates available and open to different ideas.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction..

Replies, PM and email welcome!!

I'm really looking for some advice from those who took a baby with them.

On the spur of a moment I have booked to go 14th December. There are three children, the youngest two will be 3 and almost 8 months.

I'm now a bit worried about the 8 month old and his milk and water feeds. Did you just rinse out the cups at the hotel? How did you do the water? Did you ask for a kettle? (I know that might sound strange but babies can't have bottled water due to the salt content. They have to have boiled tap water).

Did you bring nappies from home (both my youngest are in nappies - the youngest in reusable but will be using disposable for the break)?

I'm now having visions of carrying a large amount of 'baby' stuff and having no room for our clothes!

Can't wait to go though!

Hi Floxxie

we went this nyear when my ds was 10 months.
We took cold water sterlising tablets and sterlised the bottes overnight in the sink. We stayed at the cheyennne and had a kettle in our room fror tea / coffee making.

Also we filled babies cup up with a little apple juice and topped up with water at breakfast.

We did go for a week - as we had some days in contry / paris also. So to minimise space we took enough nappies for first two days - about 10 (didn't take up much room) and then bought a small pack at Auchan to last the week.

If you do need stuff and have car or are happy to go the one train stop down to Val de Europe and go to Auchan baby stuff is much cheaper than the parks.

I would advise taking own babyfood though - we did take some powdered breakfast cereal to make up with milk / water. And a couple of Jars - as french baby food is graded differently to ours and much smoother than lumps for the older baby, also you need to speak at least basic french to read the flavours (luckily I paid a little attention in GCSE french!! - my DS did link a pea and ham jar that we got him there)

Also althiugh my ds did eat finger food of our plates, it was handy to have some snacks (fruit pots / crisps) that it was guareenteed he would eat. Doesn't matter if not the healthiest diet in the world for a cople of days, as long as they eat or drink something!

when you buy the half board vouchers for disney are they dated for individual dates,as we are planning trip to paris and will only need 2 of the 3 days vouchers,can you buy for 2 days of your stay or do you have to have 3 days half board for 3 day holiday,plus are vouchers valid for day or an evening meal purchase

Hi Floxxie

We went at the beginning of august when DS was 9 months and stayed at Sequoia Lodge. We also used cold water sterilising tablets and the sink but had to ask for a kettle (no extra cost). I did take nappies for him but only because we went by Eurostar.

We had buffet style breakfast at our hotel and as DS was eating by then we used to give him toast, croissant and also they had childrens yogurts and apple puree pots so often pinched a few for him to have during the day. Most other meals he just used to have bits of ours. We had a couple of meals in the hotel in the evenings as well which were buffet style and had lots of things that we could mash up for him.

They do sell nappies in the park but they tended to be smaller sizes. Hope this helps.
